Hi Mac,

Just for the explanation.
- I do not have the HTML header of the page anymore.
- But the HTML body only.

So, the header is generated on the fly, I mean the <head> tags, <title>...;
The DOCTYPE is regenerated based on some other info.

For what javascript generates in Firefox, it depends of your javascript 
and of firefox.
It can be that javascript generates HTML tags in XHTML, in such a case a 
bug should
be logged in Firefox.

Hope it helps,

Marc
